                      Thursday, December 19, 2013

  Mr. MEADOWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Quinten Curtis, a 
4th grade student from Granite Falls, North Carolina, who has truly 
demonstrated the spirit of Christmas this season. When his mother, 
Becky, asked for his Christmas list, Quinten requested two things: a 
clarinet and 100 cans of food for the South Caldwell Christian 
Ministries.
  Quinten has proved that every one of us can have an impact on our 
community. His dedication to helping others is truly exemplary and he 
is a role model for children and adults alike. Quentin set a goal of 
donating 100 cans by Christmas, but so far has collected more than six 
times that amount. His selflessness is contagious and has motivated 
others in his community to participate, collecting donations at the 
First United Methodist Church.
  Quinten's generosity is an inspiration to us all this holiday season, 
exhibiting the true meaning of Christmas.
